Cartoon Network (the main channel) might have been a candidate to air it, but I doubt that Adult Swim would have picked up. The show has been marketed in the U.S. towards young and early teenage boys. Despite that the original Japanese version if unaltered would perhaps be appropriate for Adult Swim, it wouldn't have happened, because Naruto is too much of a cash cow to be taken to Adult Swim's anime collection where it wouldn't get the marketing it could get in primetime.

Between the major networks, I am sort of glad that Disney won it away from Cartoon Network. Cartoon Network has not been marketing Naruto like it should have been. In fact, most of the good anime series Cartoon Network once showed have been left behind for less interesting IMO CN original programming. At least Disney will give it a prime spot in its line-up and capitalize on a great show with much advertising.

nah, Adult swim doesn't get as much money as Disney... if Disney was interested in buying Adult swim wouldn't stand a chance against them....

but why the hell would Disney even be interested????

yeah, CN hasn't but how do you think Disney is going to fare???

you know I find it kinda funny - does Disney even know whats gonna happen in the future? can you imagine how much they'll have to edit out??

The stuff that will get cut out and censored is just the same stuff that got censored when it was shown on Cartoon Network. So, that means the blood will removed (unless someone is dying), and the pervy moments from Jiraiya and the Oiroke no Jutsu will be gone. If you were fine with the censorship before, then what you'll see on Disney won't be much worse.

The same things that would be censored on CN will be censored on Disney. The fact that the show is on Disney is not the problem; the problem is that the tone and content of the show matures in Shippuden. That is the problem.

Yes, Hidan/Kakuzu arc will be censored to some extent, but this shouldn't be surprising to anyone. If you didn't expect it to be censored on CN, you would be kidding yourself, because Adult Swim wouldn't have picked it up and the regular CN would make the same censorship decisions.
